Will this play regular DVD also?

by Kimmy23/10/2009

1 answer

A.Most of the Blu Ray DVD players will play regular DVD store bought videos. Now DVD's that you make yourself or Video DVD's like you have made from kiosk that provide slide shows and such probably won't play.

I found myself in a spot trying to decide whether or not to purchase a blu-ray player. I had thought about buying the PS3, but that $400+ price range was just too much to spend. So I bought this one, and although you sacrifice a little loading speed, (which really, if your sitting down to watch a movie, the extra 30 seconds to a minute of waiting when you put the disc in is not a concern.) but you get a great player that performs great. Great picture, great sound. And with the upconversion, your regular dvd's will look better than ever. Not to mention the package came in my mail in less than three days and I only purchased the normal shipping. I deffinetly recomend this player to anyone. I've watched already at least 10 movies on it. its so much fun to watch.

It is an outstanding product with an amazing picture. And what a great value! But what a strain updating the firmware. Nothing in the owners manual/box said the firmware needed to be updated. I only found that out when I tried to watch a Blu-ray DVD. I had to go to a website (not Sylvania's), download a 32 MB binary file to my hard drive, convince my virus protection software that it was OK to do so, open the file, extract it, unzip it, uncompress it, then burn it onto a CD. (Odd it wouldn't let me put the file on a blank DVD- weird since this is a DVD player). Then I put the CD in the DVD player, pressed go, and everything was good from there. Warning: if you are not computer savvy, you need to call the teenager across the street to come over and help you. You need adequate memory on your hard drive, a blank CD and make sure your computer is capable of burning a CD. Seems like the manufacturer could have done this when they had the DVD at the factory.

A Very Good Buy

I have had the Sylvania Blu-ray Disc Player for about a month now and am very satisfied with it. I tested the player using several different kinds of media, including rented standard movies, blu-ray movies and rewriteable media. On my older progressive scan dvd player, they looked fuzzy onscreen. The Sylvania Blu-ray upconverts the standard dvd 5 and dvd 9 discs to 1080p and they look great! Almost as good as a blu-ray disc does. (My TV is 1080p also). Another nice thing with the Sylvania blu-ray player is you get a free HDMI cable included in the box. Using the HDMI cable gives the best quality picture. Blu-ray discs load fairly fast and look great. It comes with a decent remote, but it is not a universal remote. My TV does not recognize the player until you insert a movie or other media. Just turning on the player does not work. The onscreen menu's were easy to navigate. It comes with good instructions on it's operation which I recommend reading if you are new to blu-ray and HDTV. I consider it a very good buy.

Won't play regular DVD's properly

This machine worked perfectly on the Blue-Ray disc that I played but on 3 regular DVD's the sound drops out for 1-2 seconds every minute or so. The picture goes blank for 1-2 seconds every 5 minutes or so. I called Sylvania customer service (actually Funai) and they said this unit has a problem re-adjusting to standard DVD's after playing a Blue-Ray.

I got this because it was cheap and had many more 4 & 5 star reviews than just about any other Blu-ray player I looked at. It took all of 5 minutes to set it up. Played a dvd first, then I rented the newest Blu-ray movie out and it played both beautifully. It isn't slow at all, loading the blu-ray disc was the slowest part taking about a minute, but the menu and using the skip buttons were all just as fast as a dvd player. I hooked this up to my tube tv set (which is still relatively new) and even without the hd it has a slightly crisper and clearer picture.
